PINOT NOIR
BRUT
A “Blanc de Noirs”, this is Bailly Lapierre’s hallmark wine –a
white made from black Pinot Noir grapes. In our villages, we love
to make our sparkle and bubbles from this great variety which
is so wonderfully at home here. A Crémant of great character, its
style full, deep and powerful, with a fruitiness in the mouth that
conjures up a red...
•hand-picked grapes
•transport of the harvest in open-sided bins of 45kgs to eliminate any damage to

•extended maturing, 16-18 months on average, bottles inverted on racks in the

limestone bedrock. It is during this period that the wine’s natural sparkle develops

Bailly, our village here in Burgundy, is the birthplace of the AOC Crémant
de Bourgogne. Since 1972, in an underground quarry providing unique
natural conditions, we have produced sparkling wines that belong
to a world of enchantment. They come from superb noble grapes, handharvested then vinified and patiently matured. Our wines, sprung from the bedrock
yet finely chiselled, carry one away with their intense, truly mineral freshness...
We stand here as a symbol
astride the historic border between the land
of the Counts of Champagne and the Duchy of Burgundy.
